There are certainly many pros to having a kitchen island. The first pro we will look at is that of extra counter space. Having resided in homes where counter space was at a minimum, the kitchen island was a life saver when cooking for larger gatherings. The second pro would be extra storage space. Who doesn‘t need extra storage space in a kitchen? One kitchen owned was so small the laundry room next to the kitchen wound up being turned into a pantry as there was next to no storage in the kitchen.

Size: Once you have decided on the materials that you‘d like to use, it is time to consider the size. Do you want to go big and dramatic, making your kitchen island a focal piece of your kitchen remodel? Or are you more interested in something smaller and less obtrusive, using the island more for standalone functional? Consider how much use it will get, what it will be used for, and how important open floor space is in your kitchen when deciding on dimensions.

Type of Stainless Kitchen Island: You need to decide for yourself the type of furniture you require. There are many varieties such as a mobile kitchen cart with wheels that can be transported from one place to another easily. Then you will also find single platform as well as double platform kitchen carts, of which the latter can be used to store your cooked meals in the lower shelf while the upper shelf is free to be used as an additional work-space.
